OSAS? Did Old Timey COG Folks believe in Once SANCTIFIED Always Sanctified?

If you can lose sanctification, how is that much different from the A/G view?

    I don’t know of a COG preacher ever believing in once sanctified always sanctified.

    The AG view is a subtraction of the word “subsequent” in the order of regeneration and sanctification. The problem for AG is similar to the problem the OSAS people have with the salvific order. Instead of loosing one’s salvation the explanation is they were never saved in the first place.

    In the COG sanctification is separate from the new birth and is an experience subsequent from the new birth. It was rare to hear a COG preacher say that if you lost your sanctification you were not a Christian.

    Charles Page, if someone gets sanctified, sings and has to get sanctified again, how is that different from some form of progressive sanctification?

  3. Charles Page says:

    They were not sanctified in the first place.

    Charles Page, sounds like OSAS doctrine.

    Btw, if someone speaks in tongues, heals the sick, etc., and then sins, would you say he was never baptized with the Holy Ghost to begin with?

    Was the individual in Hebrews 10:29 sanctified?

    Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was SANCTIFIED, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

    OSAS says once a sinner makes a profession of faith that profession stands eternally.

  7. From what I’ve understood, CoG says that you can loose your salvation if you don’t live right.

  8. Several places in bible state that. I will blot your name from book of life, can’t be removed if not their first. 2. If having sacrifice for a sin you knowingly continue to sin there is no longer a sacrifice for it.

    There seems to be two books: one a volume of recorded names
    and two “volumes” a cyclopedidae of recorded works that accommodate the listing of names in the first volume. The entries can be erased and blotted out. They are truthful accounts of our lives from which the saints are judged and assigned rewards.

  10. Give scripture to back that please

  11. Charles Page says:

    seems like it is in the book of Revelation.

  12. Book of life seems pretty cut and dried

  13. Charles Page says:

    deeds recorded in the “books”

  14. I don’t know why people fight so hard to get permanent fire insurance when all that’s needed is repent when you sin like your told to do. I see this every day because I used to be that way.
